7 CFR Part 301
[Docket No. 04–106–3]
Oriental Fruit Fly; Removal of
Quarantined Area
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as
final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final
rule, without change, an interim rule
that amended the Oriental fruit fly
regulations by removing a portion of Los
Angeles County, CA, from the list of
quarantined areas and removing
restrictions on the interstate movement
of regulated articles from that area. The
interim rule was necessary to relieve
restrictions that were no longer needed
to prevent the spread of the Oriental
fruit fly into noninfested areas of the
United States.
DATES: Effective Date: The interim rule
became effective on March 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Wayne D. Burnett, National Fruit Fly
Program Manager, PPQ, APHIS, 4700

Background
In an interim rule effective on
November 9, 2004, and published in the
Federal Register on November 16, 2004
(69 FR 67041–67042, Docket No. 04–
106–1), we amended the Oriental fruit
fly regulations contained in 7 CFR
301.93 through 301.93–10 (referred to
below as the regulations) by adding a
portion of Los Angeles County, CA, to
the list of quarantined areas in § 301.93–
3(c) and restricting the interstate

Jkt 208001
movement of regulated articles from that
area. The November 2004 interim rule
was necessary to prevent the spread of
Oriental fruit fly into noninfested areas
of the United States.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
January 18, 2005. We received one
comment by that date, from a private
citizen. The commenter questioned why
an infestation of Oriental fruit fly had
been allowed to occur, but did not offer
any comments on the action taken in the
interim rule; therefore, we are making
no changes in response to this comment.
In a second interim rule effective
March 1, 2005, and published in the
Federal Register on March 7, 2005 (70
FR 10861–10862, Docket No. 04–106–2),
we amended the Oriental fruit fly
regulations by removing the portion of
Los Angeles County, CA, from the list of
quarantined areas and removing
restrictions on the interstate movement
of regulated articles from that area. We
took this action based on trapping
surveys conducted by inspectors of
California State and County agencies
that showed that the Oriental fruit fly
had been eradicated from the
quarantined portion of Los Angeles
County, CA.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before May
6, 2005. We did not receive any
comments. Therefore, for the reasons
given in the interim rule, we are
adopting the interim rule as a final rule.
This action also affirms the
information contained in the interim
rules concerning Executive Order 12866
and the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Further, for this action, the Office of
Management and Budget has waived its
review under Executive Order 12866.

Establishment of the Covelo

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This Treasury decision
establishes the 38,000-acre ‘‘Covelo’’
viticultural area in northern Mendocino
County, California, about 150 miles
north of San Francisco. We designate
viticultural areas to allow vintners to
better describe the origin of their wines
and to allow consumers to better
identify wines they may purchase.

Section 105(e) of the Federal Alcohol
Administration Act (the FAA Act, 27
U.S.C. 201 et seq.) requires that alcohol
beverage labels provide the consumer
with adequate information regarding a
product’s identity and prohibits the use
of misleading information on such
labels. The FAA Act also authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue
regulations to carry out its provisions.
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau (TTB) administers these
regulations.
Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR
part 4) allows the establishment of
definitive viticultural areas and the use
of their names as appellations of origin
on wine labels and in wine
advertisements. Part 9 of the TTB
regulations (27 CFR part 9) contains the
list of approved viticultural areas.
Definition
Section 4.25(e)(1)(i) of the TTB
regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(1)(i)) defines
a viticultural area for American wine as
a delimited grape-growing region
distinguishable by geographical
features, the boundaries of which have
been recognized and defined in part 9
of the regulations. These designations
allow vintners and consumers to
attribute a given quality, reputation, or
other characteristic of a wine made from
grapes grown in an area to its
geographic origin. The establishment of
viticultural areas allows vintners to
describe more accurately the origin of
their wines to consumers and helps
consumers to identify wines they may
purchase. Establishment of a viticultural
area is neither an approval nor an
endorsement by TTB of the wine
produced in that area.
Requirements
Section 4.25(e)(2) of the TTB
regulations outlines the procedure for
proposing an American viticultural area
and provides that any interested party
may petition TTB to establish a grapegrowing region as a viticultural area.
Section 9.3(b) of the TTB regulations
requires the petition to include—
• Evidence that the proposed
viticultural area is locally and/or
nationally known by the name specified
in the petition;
• Historical or current evidence that
supports setting the boundary of the
